Route of Monumental Ourense

Two proposals for discovering Ourense's bimillennial history through its main monuments and landmarks.

Basic Route

Two thousand years of history can be felt in Ourense’s monumental architecture, a range of buildings that invite you to travel in time: Medieval Ourense, Renaissance Ourense, Baroque Ourense, Modernist Ourense … and even long before, the Roman and Pre-Roman city, famous for river Minho’s gold and As Burgas’ warm waters.

In order to discover it, if you have little time, we suggest a basic and comfortable route focused only on the Historic Centre, with ten essential spots that you should not miss.

Extended Route

If you feel like wanting more, we propose to continue discovering the monumental Ourense through an extended route with alternatives a little more distant from the city centre but equally interesting. In several spots you will find some of the best panoramic views of the city.
